#FavoriteRPGofAllTime #RPGaDay

#FavoriteRPGofAllTime #RPGaDay

This is a bit of a hard one for me. I don't like to play favorites with rpgs. I tend to be very picky about my games.

Most nostalgic that no longer plays like it used to? World of Darkness products

Most nostalgic game I feel I never had an opportunity to do enough with it? Traveller

Most fun I have had at a table with a game that had lots of dice to roll? WEG Star Wars game of Jedi. My players rivaled Warhammer 40k players with the number of dice being cast on the kitchen table.

Most innovative game I've played in the past two years? Action Cards! from Age of Ravens.

Game I seem to go back to time and time again in this series of blogs? Most likely All Flesh Must Be Eaten. That probably sets this up as my favorite rpg of all time. Night's Black Agents creeping up on it, though.

Well, that's it for this event - a double tap to the brain. . .

#FavoriteGameSystem #RPGaDay

This is another hard one for me. I ran 2nd ed Storyteller for years. I ran it long enough that I had my own tweaks to it and even layed out my own character creation booklet.

The other system I know and live to run is Unisystem. The system reminds me of a Storyteller - GURPS mashup. I've done a lot with it and I have tweaked it, as well. There are gaps in parts of the rules for the different magical beings, but what game doesn't have gaps.

I've recently tried out #GUMSHOE and #ActionCards! . Both are good systems, but they are too new to me. I've never been a fan of F20 rules, I can take or leave them.

I am going with #Unisystem for this one. I recently ran some nWoD and it just didn't do it for me.
